The Most Powerful
Force in the World
The most powerful force in the world is inertia. Nature prefers constantency
or slow evolutionary change. Nothing happens in nature unless a force
greater than inertia acts to "shake" things up. If it
weren't for inertia, we would wake up each day and find that
everything we had seen the day before has been "rearranged".
Instead, everything seemingly remains the same, and all noticeable
changes are explainable by either the intervention of more powerful
forces of nature or the interdiction of human intentions. In short, natural
change is slow, and sameness is the cornerstone of nature. Nature is
neutral, caring not for aesthetics nor human preferences, with change
coming only on the ebb and flow of natural conditions. So, if a
living, thinking creature wants change, it must act as the catalyst to
supply the overwhelming force to overcome inertia. Most of the time,
the force required to overcome inertia is within our personal
capabilities. All it takes to overcome inertia is resolve, the
willingness to exert and focus one's personal endowment against a
specific form of inertia. But, it is human nature to avoid the
expenditure of energy except for good reason. Thus, everything is
arranged the way it is due to the lack of willingness to change it. It
is just too easy to accept the status quo
rather than to expend one's forces to change it
